Compared with straight and horizontal boards, which one is better for beginners to get started first

In fact, the choice between straight and horizontal boards should still depend on personal usage habits. If you are a beginner, you should try both and decide which type you are used to to choose。But in fact, as far as I am concerned, I think horizontal shooting is relatively easy to use, but some people think that straight shooting is easier to use, which really depends on your own usage habits and hand holding habits, but horizontal shooting is the traditional mainstream, so it may be better to choose horizontal shooting.

Although Liu Guoliang invented the direct shooting technology, this technology has not caught up with the mainstream, and now the mainstream in China is still horizontal shooting. But it has to be admitted that the straight shot technique is advantageous in favor of tabletop balls and the first three boardsMoreover, the wrist is more flexible when shooting straight, but its disadvantage is that the back rotation technique is weak. This has also led to a slowdown in the reaction, but Wang Hao, who has retired, has a certain influence on the direct shooting technology, and he is also the best person to use the direct shooting technology so far.

The older generation is influenced by world champions such as Liu Guoliang and Wang Hao, who have excellent direct shooting operations, and they are used to playing table tennis with straight shooting. Moreover, the holding posture of the straight shot is similar to our usual posture of holding a pen and chopsticks, and many people like to hold the racket like that, and they will feel more comfortable. But looking at the current situation, there are indeed relatively few users of direct shooting now, and most of the current world champions generally use horizontal shooting, and the only maverick Xu Xin uses straight shooting, but we have to admit that she is indeed not as skilled as Zhang Jike and others.

But if it's a normal hobby, it's still that sentence, what suits you is the best, and there is no absolute good or bad. Beginners want to choose horizontal or straight shooting, they are not limited by these theories at all, mainly depending on their own hand holding habits to decide, how to hold comfortably how to play, because whether it is horizontal or straight shooting, the technology is already very mature, as long as you are willing to work hard and work hard, you must be able to play table tennis well.

Springboards are difficult and risky. Therefore, if you want to learn to dive, you should start with a straight board.

The horizontal board is better, and it is also the current mainstream way of playing, and the wrist force of the straight board is more, so it is recommended to learn the horizontal board directly at the beginning.

This depends on which one the beginner likes or which one he hobby, in fact, it is mainly based on his own conditions to choose. It's best to be right for yourself.

Personally, I recommend choosing a transverse plate. Because the horizontal cricket ball has improved significantly in the short term, the forehand and backhand are balanced, although it is not as flexible as the straight shot in the use of the wrist, but the advantage is obvious in the long platform attack, especially the backhand against the straight shot, excluding the straight shot and horizontal shot.

And the grip position is relatively relaxed, which is easy for beginners to use.

Now (2022) many people use horizontal boards, and even most of the main players of the national team use horizontal boards. From the basis of use, the horizontal board must be his own advantage, now into the forty plus era, the speed of the ball has slowed down, the round has also increased, more emphasis is on strength and continuity, at this point, the horizontal board has an advantage, in the first three boards of the straight board, in the rapid development of the playing era, the ball speed has slowed down, will have a slight impact, but for beginners is not very obvious.

The beginner to learn the straight board, the use of fingers and wrists is much higher than the horizontal board, the difficulty of holding is greater than the horizontal board, with the maturity of the twisting and pulling technology in the table, the horizontal plate has also made great progress in handling the ball in the table, you can twist and pull after entering the hold, do not have to stare in the table.

On the serve, although the straight board is flexible, the serve with a straight grip on the horizontal board is obviously more comfortable, and there is no lack of flexibility, and the straight backhand is solved from a certain angle, and the weakness of the straight backhand, especially in the peak user Wang Hao.

In the hand, the straight board counterattack has been used as one of the main means of scoring, but the practice is more difficult, the wrist needs to have good strength and coordination, the posture of the grip is obviously awkward, the hand is easy to sore, and it is indeed not easy to practice the straight shot. Therefore, I still recommend beginners to start with the horizontal board, for the basic skills, the shaping of the movements is more convenient.

However, both straight and horizontal shooting have developed very maturely, and there is no essential difference between which one to start with, and as long as you continue to practice hard, I believe that you can reach a very high level. What's more, many techniques of straight and horizontal shooting are also the same, and there is no insurmountable gap.

I think you should choose the horizontal board first, because it's easier to hit the ball, it's easier to learn, and it's very easy to operate.

Transverse plates should be chosen. Because the horizontal board is particularly easy to use, it will be easier to get started, and it will be easier to hit the backhand with the horizontal board.

It should be better to learn the horizontal board, because the horizontal board is easy to use, and it will not be very weird when you take it.

Now beginners learn table tennis.

It's best to learn to shoot horizontally.

Table tennis has changed from 38 mm to 40 mm, and now it is 40+. The spin is weakened, the ball speed is slowed down, the advantage of the straight shot on the first three boards is getting smaller and smaller, and the game is playing more rounds.

Coupled with the innovative backhand twisting and pulling technology of horizontal shooting, the advantage of the first three boards of straight shooting has disappeared. Moreover, the straight board horizontal hitting technique competes with the backhand of the horizontal board, and both power and speed are at a disadvantage. For these reasons, many amateur direct shooting masters have switched to horizontal shooting.

Compared with a straight shot, it is easier to learn the ball and more difficult to shoot a straight shot. Overall physical fitness.

Athletes with better brains and more dexterity are more suitable for straight shots. Athletes who are flexible and athletic are better suited to play straights.

Traditional straight grip and straight shot.

The essential difference is mainly reflected in the shift in consciousness between pushing and horizontal play, defense and offense. Some amateurs pay attention to the awareness of pushing and blocking to prevent instead of attacking, and many amateur players change in order to change the situation, and want to learn to play straight and horizontal in order to attack.

It is recommended to start practicing straight and horizontal strokes to reduce the lethal force. I want to change from pushing to horizontal hitting the first racket, and the angle of the first racket is coordinated with the fingers to enhance the muscle strength of the forearm and achieve the muscle memory of swinging the racket.

In order to effectively control the ball, racket and forearm more stably.

Learning the straight or horizontal board is the same, which is like the calligraphy of the reverse front and the straight edge. As long as you use virtue appropriately, it's fine.

It should be based on the individual's ability and talent, to see what kind of play style you are suitable for, and then to go further and one of the exercises.

It is better to walk with the left foot or the right foot first, or alternately from left to right.

Straight shot calendar. <>

The size of the fingers and the strength of the wrist, agility, intelligence and quick reflexes. Because there is a difference in the size of the palm that people are born with, the palm is large and the fingers are strong, and it will be more advantageous to shoot straight. Straight shooting requires a very fast reaction and a very smart mind, and the characteristic of straight shooting is that it is dexterous and changeable, relying on rotation and change to win.

Advantages: 1. The advantages of direct shooting: the platform is close, "fast, accurate, and lively", and the ball handling is more delicate.

The attack is fast and powerful, the racket conversion time is small, and you can flexibly use your fingers and wrists to handle the small ball in the table and chase the ball well. Weaknesses: The requirements for footwork are high, and the backhand attack technique is difficult to master.

2. The advantages of horizontal shooting: in the standing position, "simple, turning, and rushing" is more conducive to exerting strength and explosiveness. The grip is stable, the ball control range is large, it is easy to serve the backhand and pull the arc circle, and the ability to hold on to each other is strong.

Disadvantages: When receiving the ball from both sides, you need to change the paddle surface, which affects the speed and requires a high level of physical fitness for the player. When attacking a straight ball, the body movement is large, and it is easy for the opponent to see through it in advance.

It is more difficult to deal with short balls in front of the forehand, and there is no flexibility in handling the small balls in the table.

I suggest that the Heng faction choose the horizontal board.

Nowadays, many people use horizontal boards, and even the main players of the national team mostly use horizontal boards. From the basis of the use of spike touches, the transverse plate must be by his advantage.

Now in the 40+ era, the ball speed is slower, the rounds are increased, and there is more emphasis on power and consistency, and the crossboard has an advantage at this point.

For the first three boards of the straight board, in the era of play, the ball speed slows down, which will have a slight (not very obvious for beginners) some effect.

Beginners learn to use straight boards, fingers and wrists are more demanding, and it is more difficult to hold than horizontal boards.

With the maturity of the twisting and pulling technology in the table, the crossplane has also made great progress in handling the ball in the table, which can enter the holding after twisting and pulling, and there is no need for stalemate in the table.

On the serve, although the straight board is flexible, the serve with a straight board is obviously more comfortable and flexible.

From a certain point of view, the straight backhand has solved the backhand weakness of the straight board, especially the peak user Wang Hao has taken the straight backhand as one of the main means of scoring, but the practice is more difficult, and the wrist needs to have good force and coordination.

Although I myself use a straight board, and it is a horizontal board to a straight board, I still recommend that beginners start with a horizontal board, which can be more convenient for the basic skills and the molding of movements.

Because everyone's habits are different. Therefore, the grip posture is also different, and you can train according to your habits.

The disadvantage of straight plates is that they are technically difficult. The first is the difficulty of the backhand position, the straight backhand is severely limited when attacking because of the reason for holding the board tightly, so the straight board will be caught with the backhand breakthrough in the game, even if the footwork is good and the sideways ability is strong, it will be very uncomfortable to be suppressed. Secondly, the technical advantage of the straight plate is that the smaller the diameter of the sphere, the more dominant the straight plate is.

However, with a series of equipment reforms, the diameter of the sphere has increased to about 40mm, from organic glue to inorganic, the advantages of the original straight plate, such as picking, etc., are becoming more and more difficult to operate, and the final power is not satisfactory.

Finally, COSCO.

The disadvantages of Taiwan. On the one hand, there is the technical disadvantage of the backhand, and it is difficult to hold a few rounds on the mid-to-long platform with a straight shot, and many times it is passive defense, or even a high ball. In addition, the strength of the straight board is not as strong as that of the horizontal board.

Physically, there is a preparatory stance with a radius of force when hitting the ball. In general, the elbow joint.

It is the fulcrum, and the straight line from the elbow joint to the point on the batting board is the force radius, and the force radius of the straight plate is shorter than that of the horizontal board, so the final force effect is relatively poor.

The advantage of a straight board is that the center of gravity is closer to the palm of the hand than the horizontal board, and the ball control is softer. Similarly, it will be easier to hit a straight ball if the table does not have an arc of assault balls. The short pendulum can be better controlled.

If it is a traditional one-sided play, because the left and right sides are on one side, the defense in the middle of the straight board will be more stable than the horizontal board. The middle forehand has always been a sore spot for the crossboard. When pushing, the suddenness and concealment of the straight line change are also much better than those of the horizontal plate.

Why do amateur golfers like to use straight boards? The first is emotional and historical factors. There have been glorious times in China's straight roads, such as Rong Guotuan.

Xu Yinsheng and other outstanding straight board players, they have played a role in promoting the popularization and development of straight boards. Secondly, the straight board grip board is more flexible, and it is easier to derive a lot of variations compared to the horizontal board. Generally speaking, people who play well with straight boards have flexible brains, especially traditional straight boards.

Whether it is a straight board or a horizontal board, it is just an external form of expression, hoping for table tennis.

All kinds of playing styles can shine.

The advantage of a straight board is that the serving speed is faster, the difficulty is small, the opponent is not easy to catch the ball, and it is easier to score, and the disadvantage is that the service trajectory is relatively straight and not easy to control, so amateur group friends like to use a straight board because of the low difficulty.

If there is a sharp switch between the forehand and backhand, there will be a slight reversal process. If the fixation means that the forehand grip remains the same, and the backhand is also treated with the forehand grip, then the forehand and backhand hardly need to be reversed, but it will be slightly affected in terms of the line and arc control of the ball. If the straight shot is a traditional left-push and right-attack straight grip, when the forehand and backhand are switched, you need to adjust your fingers relatively quickly.

If it's a straight shot, the adjustment is slightly smaller.

Shoot horizontally, and then recommend some brands to you.

Beginners learning table tennis are suitable for using rackets that are not too personalized, and may be more suitable to start with a pure wood structure, because the pure wood structure is relatively solid, unlike fiberboard, which is not easy to control, and the friction holding time is short, and it is not easy to develop hand memory in practice. Another point is that the pure wooden board is generally lower, and it will not bring excessive financial burden to friends who have just become interested in table tennis in the early stage.

Use whichever you think is better, just like a child grabbing a week at the age of 100.

Nowadays, many people use horizontal boards, because the straight backhand push block is limited to a certain extent, but now that the straight board horizontal hitting technology is popular, this is no longer a problem.

In addition, the flexibility of the straight plate is also beyond the reach of the horizontal board.

Table tennis beginners should learn horizontal boards compared to table tennis beginners should learn horizontal boards better, horizontal boards are stronger than straight boards in terms of defense or attack! Well, the horizontal board is stronger than the straight board in terms of both hand defense and attack!

As for learning the straight board or learning the template there is no specific regulation, or to look at yourself, I personally think that it is easier to learn the straight board first, and it is easier to learn the template after being proficient, no matter which one you learn depends on your personal understanding, I wish you success.
